Carolyn Bullock and I counted 1,824 Chimney Swifts from 7:17 PM until 8:17 PM CDT on 8/11/06. The weather started as partly cloudy and turned to overcast. Some rain fell for about 12 minutes. Our location was the old laundry chimney at the Shelby County Jail located on Shelby Farms Park in Memphis TN. The chimney is a tall industrial type structure located within a half mile of the Wolf River. We have surveyed this site for the last few years.
